C is for…Ceylon Gold
This is one of my older teas and by that I mean it is from September 2019. It’s a good one though, being one of the more enjoyable plain white teas that I have tried. However, as a plain white tea, I tend to forget about it often.
Today this has a lot of hay notes to it. Hay and corn. Smooth and light.

Nice job having September 2019 be the oldest in your collection! Mine is probably 2015(?).. well maybe a few years older than that since I started buying in 2016 but got older teas in swaps/buys [not counting aged puerh/oolong/etc.]!
I am still new at white teas so would you recommend this one as someone who is trying to branch out into traditional/straight teas?
Technically I think August 2019 is the oldest in my collection but those are my A Quarter to Tea blends I got in large amounts before she went on hiatus and so I don’t want to run out. I also probably have older ones that I received in swaps as well but I date my teas from when they arrive in my cupboard…unless I know the specific date they were purchased.
I do not drink a lot of straight white teas since I think a lot of them taste like soap. For me, silver needle white teas tend to be the most approachable. This one is mild and quite nice. The only other white tea that stands out to me more is a White Rhino since it is a white tea that acts more like a black tea and as someone who prefers black teas, that had a lot of appeal.
